The Long Way Home: A Bigfoot Story is a motion picture about a despondent, former writer for the Miami Herald who finds himself at his lowest point of alcoholism and bi-polar manic-depression in a bar in South Beach, Florida.  Bellied-up to that bar, he sees a news flash on the television that highlights Bigfoot sightings in his hometown of Indian Camp Mountain, North Carolina.  At that point, the writer is moved in a moment of clarity to flee Miami, move back home to Transylvania County, North Carolina, and investigate this story in an effort to resurrect his career and legitimize his life.  Once home in North Carolina, the writer begins to interview everyone he can find to determine the truth or falsity of the Bigfoot sightings.  Aside from the writer’s father, the local Sheriff of 40 years, and an eerie local serpent handler, the majority of the interviews revolve around patrons of a local watering hole called “Bob’s Place.”
